YOUTH GOLF
Tuesday Youth Play Days
Along with instruction, your children will have more opportunities to
play on the golf course. Our 2016 Youth Golf Program has concrete
dates, and we believe having a more structured schedule will provide an
exceptional experience for our Youth Golfers.
Each Tuesday, players will have a half hour of instruction, followed by
play on the course. Golfers will be able to sign up for four divisions: 18
holes, 9 holes, 5 holes and 3 holes. The children that sign up for 5 hole
and 3 hole divisions require a parent or guardian to accompany each
group on the golf course.
For just $150.00 per player you can get 4 hours of instruction and 8
play dates, not to mention an awesome tee gift!
2016 PGA Junior League
PGA Junior League is available to
children of all abilities, ages 9 - 13.
Juniors must be able to carry their
own golf bag and have a basic
knowledge of the rules of golf.
Blythefield CC is in the same league
as Egypt Valley, Kent and Cascade.
Each facility will host multiple
matches, which gives your children a
great opportunity to play the
surrounding golf courses.
Details on how to register will be
available early spring.

SWIM TEAM
BREAKDOWN
New this year we have created a feeder program for our swim team. This new program will include
skill builders for each level. Each swimmer will be evaluated based on ability, then split into one of
three groups (Eel, Starfish and Dolphin). Each group will have their own lane with a specific
instructor to ensure proper education and supervision. This new program will help each swimmer
progress throughout the summer and eventually be able to successfully compete in swim meets.
Throughout the summer we will re-evaluate the swimmers with time trials and distance markers to
track your child’s progress.
SUMMER LUNCH PROGRAM
SAME GREAT PRICE, ONE EXTRA DAY!
For just $99 per person you can enjoy weeks of worry free lunch! During the youth sports
season we set up a lunch buffet at the pool. The menu will rotate, limiting repeated meals. Each daily
buffet will include a salad bar, fresh fruit and vegetable options and mouth watering main course.
The buffet is kid friendly and babysitters or nannies are welcome to enjoy too!
AVAILABLE RAIN OR SHINE!
Monday, June 20 - Thursday, July 28
11:00am - 2:00pm
$99 per person
(children 3 and under gratis)
Please email Katie at kvulpetti@blythefieldcc.org to register your family.

Although we love the summer sunshine, we are forced
to accept that some days there will be rain. In the event
of a practice cancelation you will receive an email to

also post directly to Facebook. If the weather looks like
it will clear up we will make cancelations based on age
group times.
If there is a storm and the pool is closed on a day of
youth sports, the lunch buffet will still be available
down at the pool during scheduled hours
(11:00am - 2:00pm).
